25 Questions

1. Intentional use of harmful or lethal chemicals used to cause death - injury - or irritation.

2. PPE carried on person

3. Detonation in excess of 100 -000 ft (18 mi) - Disturbs electromagnetic communications - Fireball does not touch ground

4. Shockwaves create damage and destruction - by the blast itself (initial) or by debris (secondary)

5. Process in which energetic particles or energy or waves travel through a medium or space - Consists of non - ionizing (radio - visible light - n) and ionizing (a -

6. PPE issued to each person - Mask fitted

7. Similar effect as shallow - but more contaminated waters

8. Ionizing Will penetrate upper layers of matter; will alter the molecules it colides with. Most dangerous when contaminated particulate matter remains on skin - or inhaled.Effective protection: masks - clothing - eye protection - thorough washing of c

9. Immediate dryness of the throat - Coughing - Choking - Tightness in the chest - Headache - Nausea

10. Choking agents - Nerve agents - Blood agents - Blister agents

11. Mask used to protect personnel against CBR; not effective against smoke - ammonia - CO - or CO2.

12. Treated clothing to protect agains blister agents and all known chemical and biological war agents.

13. Most damage is caused by the shockwaves - Radiation fallout is secondary danger - Fireball does not touch ground - Causes mushroom cloud

14. Ionizing - Penetrates all parts of the body; ionizes the molecules it strikes and alters chemical composition of the matter Effective protection: high density - high mass material with high atomic number (lead is most readily available)

15. Creates a flash of magnetic and electric fields that cause power surges and electronic mishaps in equipment.

16. Non - ionizing (indirect ionizing) Most penatrable; charges a nuclei at an atomic level - rendering the atom radioactive (including body tissues thus making the person radioactive) Effective protection consists of hydrogen rich material (water - parr

17. Intense heat from explosion - Radiation travels in straight lines - so burns usually only on side facing blast - Blindness caused by intense light radiation

18. Redness of the skin - Intense itching and blisters

19. Hydrogen Cyanide - Initial deep breathing - Violent convulsions - Breathing stops after one minute - Heart stops soon after

20. MCU-2P fitted with canister - Suit donned

21. All PPE donned

22. Ionizing Must be ingested into airways - blood stream - can be blocked by minimal matter (paper)

23. Fireball formed but rarely surfaces - Creates upward thrust of water into air - Shockwave greatest danger

24. High Altitude Air Burst - Air Burst - Surface Burst - Shallow Underwater Burst - Deep Underwater Burst

25. Deliberate use of living organisms used to cause death - injury - or destroy living things.
